CARBURETER.

Specification of Letters Iatent.

Application tiled May 10, 1916. Serial No. 96,721.

To all 'whom 'it may concern Beit known that I, FRED G. ADAMS, a citizenof the United States, and a resident of Roscoe, in the county of Carbonand State ofl Montana, have invented an Improvement in Carbureters, ofwhich the following is a specification.

This invention is an improvement in combustion engines and hasparticular reference to a novel construction in a carbureter.

An object of the invention is to provide a construction wherein gasoleneor other oils and water may be thorou hly mixed and supplied to themanifold o an engine, and to this end, the invention includes up er andlower mixing chambers, the latter o which has 'mounted therein aplurality of mixin devices in the form of partitions constructed in anovel manner and having openings therein through which the mixturepasses underv control of valves actuated at the will of the operator toregulate the amount of mixture passing through said openings. The

upper mixing chamber has also mounted therein a series of stationary andmovable baffle members arranged in a novel manner.

The inventive idea involved is capable of receiving a variety ofmechanical expressions, one of which, for the purpose of illus tratingthe invention, is shown in the accom- `panying drawing, in which- Figure1 is a vertical sectional view of the carbureter constructed inaccordance with the invention.

Ail" enters the neck8 through the pipe 8".

Patent-,ea oct. 9, 1917. 1

A ixed casing 16 having a bottom 17 is! mounted interiorly of the mixingchamber 6 in the centerther'eof and in alinement withy the restrictedportions 7 and 8, the bottom 17 of said casing being adapted to deiiectand assist in mixing the oil and water in the tanks 9 and 10. Atintervals in the space between the wall of the chamber 6 and the casing16 there are mounted in superposed relation, a series of separatepartitions 18 adapted to effectively obstruct and prevent the quickpassage of the mixture through the mixing chamber. The bottom partitionsare provided with openings 19 through which the mixture is allowed topass. at certain times, into the space between said lower lpartitionsand the next partitions above. ach of the lower partitions 18 isprovided contiguous to the o ening 19 therein with a baiiie plate 20which is adaptedto cause the mixture to rise upwardly, and strikevagainst the bottomof the next superposed partition. Each of the otherpartitions 18 is rovided with a similar opening 19 and ba e plate 20.The partitions 18 above the lowermost one are also provided withdownwardly extending baiile portions 21 forming continuar tions of thebaffle plates 20 and projecting down as far as the level of the nextlower partition 18. Each of the said partitions is.

also provided with a depending baiiie plate 22 arranged adj aeent'thebai-lie plates 20 and extending at substantially right angles thereto,the same being adapted to deiiect the mixture downwardly as shown by thedirection of the arrows, after which said mixture,

4, and are arranged concentrically about the inner fixed casing 16, thepivots 24 for said with referenceto the vertical axis ofsaid innercasing, as clearly shown :in Fig. 4. A ortion 25 of each valve 23projects slight ybueyond its pivot 24 and yis secured to Vone end of anarm 26 projecting through an opening 27 formed in the casing 16, theother end of said arm being connected to one of a. number of rods 2Sforming a portion of a vertically arbustable frame, said rods beingsecured to a ring member 29 forming the base of said frame which isarranged interiorly of the easing 16.

Means l'or adjusting the above-mentioned frame are provided andpreferably include rods ifi extending` transversely of the ring member29 and haring connected thereto at each ond one end of a link 31 Whichtogether with the link 32 and operating arm 33 forms a toggle. The otherend of the link Ill together with the adjacent end of 'the link 32 ispivoted upon a rod 34 mounted in the arm 33 while the other end of thelink 32 is mounted upon a stationary rod 35. The arm 33 is under thecontrol of the operator and it will be seen that by pushing the armlii'iwardly the links 31 and 3Q of the toggle will be straightened andcause the rods 2R and ring member 29 o the frame to he lowered into theeasing 16 vwhereupon the arms` 2G will swing the valves 23 about theirpivots 2l and raise said valves so that the mixture will be permitted topass through the openings 19 in the different partitions 18 and, owingto the arrangement of the different battle members, be caused to takethe passage indicated by the arrows.

The upper restricted po'rtion 7 of the lower chamber 6 has mountedtherein a throttle valve 36 the pivot for which is con trollcd by alever 37 connected to an arm 38 arrrnged in parallel relation andconnected to tie arm 33 so that said arms will be simultaneouslyoperated.

The top of the restricted portion 7 is provided with a flange 39 uponwhich is mounted the upper mixing chamber l0 which is preferably of aclvlindric'al'formationI The inner wall of the chamber 40 hasproject-innr therefrom` in an upwardly direction and toward the centerthereof, a plurality of stationary baille4 plates 41x A verticalpartition 42 Iis centrally arranged in the chamber 40 and has pirotedthereto at oppositelyr disposed points a pluralitv of valves 43 whicheoperatehwith the stationary balile plates 41 to cause the mixturecoming from the lower mixing chamber to assume a tortuous passage, asindicated by the arrows, through the said chamber 40. Should thepressure of the mixture past the throttle valve 36, when open, beinsufficient to maintain the valves 43 opened or should the throttlevalve 36 be closed, said valves 43 will automatically lower and restupon the ends of vthebaliie plates 41 thus cutting off the flow of themixture through the mixing chambt r 40. The upper 'end of this chamber40 is provided with an outlet opening 44 and is connected to the enginemamfold 45. i
